The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has issued an advisory to all motorists that ramp closures have been scheduled at the LA 3132 interchange with I-49 in Shreveport to allow for routine bridge inspection.

The ramp closures are as follows:

• Saturday, July 27, 2024, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm: LA 3132 eastbound ramp to I-49 northbound

• Sunday, July 28, 2024, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm: LA 3132 westbound ramp to I-49 southbound

The DOTD reminds drivers that bridge inspection crews will be on site conducting these routine bridge inspections, so please drive cautiously through the work zone, slow down, remove any distractions, and never drive while impaired.

This will be a total ramp closure and all vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route. Detour signage will bein place.

As with all DOTD projects, this work will be done weather permitting, so inclement weather could postpone, extend or modify the work day(s)/hours of this project.

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

Area residents should exercise caution when driving, walking, or biking near an active construction zone.
